Backstage Sessions : The First Ten Episodes – An Audio Recap

I realized today that the posting of the second installment of our session with Ingrid Michaelson marks our tenth episode of The Backstage Sessions. I know some of you have not yet hopped on board, so I wanted to post a little easy to download sampler zip. The zip contains my favorite performance from each of our sessions, and for your convenience you can also download each track individually. Of course you can see the HD video of these performances and grab the mp3’s not included on the mix by clicking on that shiny “Backstage Sessions” tab above you.

Don’t worry, we’re still in full-swing, I’m actually working on editing the wonderful Centro-matic session as we speak for your consumption.

The Lonely H : Hard to Find a Friend’s Backstage Sessions

The Lonely H are four young men, fresh out of school, traveling the nation extensively in an old van. When my Backstage Sessions partner, Jeff, & I arrived at the venue and met the band’s guitar player who had been our contact for the band, Johnny, we both made similar comments. These guys look, and sound, like 1967, and we mean that as a huge compliment. There songs are soulful Rock n’ Roll, not Indie Rock, not Garage Rock, Rock n’ Roll, like they used to make it. Songs about dreams, songs about going down to the river, songs sung and played with a huge amount of skill and a much larger amount of soul.
